Le Nozze di Figaro Tickets

A profoundly humane comedy, Le Nozze di Figaro is a remarkable marriage of Mozart’s music at the height of his genius and one of the best librettos ever set. The story follows Figaro and Susanna as they subvert attempts to foil their wedding day, leading to mistaken identities, shocking revelations, comedy, and chaos. In adapting a play that caused a scandal with its revolutionary take on 18th-century society, librettist Lorenzo Da Ponte focused less on the original topical references and more on the timeless issues embedded in the frothy drawing-room comedy. Conductor Joana Mallwitz makes her Met debut leading two extraordinary casts in Mozart’s comic masterpiece.
